Aquarius - Santa Cruz

Not the best, was okay but probably won’t stay there again. The location was great, easy access to beach and close to boardwalk. Location is all you pay for tho, not the nicest of hotels or the most kept up.

We came to the Dream Inn for a work event. The rooms were fun/colorful with an awesome view of the ocean. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Most importantly the catering for the work event was amazing. I would book my meeting here again.

Pulling into Santa Cruz on a Tuesday managed to get a room 9th floor overlooking the huge pier and beach and boardwalk. This is hands down The Place you want to stay in Santa Cruz. If you never leave the room ; they have fabulous room service nostalgic like room service!! There is so much to do in walking distance or go down to the pool . The view of the bay and the boats and the boardwalk at night, watch the train roll in and out of the strip. Such a cool place to be. I’m from Texas so the temp difference And water temp difference was so surprising. In Santa Cruz the wet suit invention is second only to the wheel.Loved our front seat view of fabulous sand art , volleyball, sunbathers , surf lifeguard school.We stayed as long as we could w options to extend our stay and every cent spent brought memories to last a lifetime. So I am left to wonder. Would Santa Cruz been as neat if we hadn’t stayed at the Dream?I just know it was a wonderful base w location and views like no other .

We had better service at this 3 star hotel than I have had at 5 star hotels. Rooms lovely with a fun surf theme and colours, location is great on the beach and near everything, and super happy with our experience. We will be back!

This trip was a wish of our grandson who is battling Cancer, staying at the Dream Inn where dreams do come true! It was a PERFECT trip he will never forget! That we will never forget. Dream Inn is truly a wonderful place for a family to stay when visiting Santa Cruz. This beautiful destination on the Beach with great accommodations, food, and a wonderful staff.
